Dung-inhabiting ascomycetes from the Ukrainian Carpathians

Abstract

The paper provides data on dung-inhabiting ascomycetes which were collected in 2015 during a mycological survey in the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve (Rakhiv District, Zakarpattya Region).Twenty-five species belonging to the Pezizomycetes, Sordariomycetes, Dothideomycetes and Leotiomycetes were found, 19 of which were new to the Ukrainian Carpathians. Schizothecium dakotense and Sordaria lappae were collected in Ukraine for the first time. Substrates, localities, data on general distribution and some taxonomic notes to these species are presented. The species new to Ukraine are described, and interesting finds are illustrated.
